I like that you're playing some Basie, but a few things stick out to me in the first few bars of your playing. It sounds like you're slightly behind the pulse of the hi-hat and bass. Your quarter note lengths are longer than Freddie Green's and your chord shapes are definitely way bigger than his. Good work reading though! Be sure to let your ears be the judge and not the sheet music. Jazz is an aural form of art. Try and copy every little inflection of what Freddie Green does. Keep it up!
